Sports Pictures Photography Shack Guide
Sports Pictures Of Glorious Sporting Moments
By George Goodall Jnr
Sports pictures highlight the athletic prowess of an
athlete on the sporting field. I do not have the time
to sit for hours on end to capture that one moment where
an athlete takes a glorious catch on the athletic field.
This is why, I place framed sporting images on the walls
of my home, taken by professional photographers of momentous
sporting events in history.
These images may include athletes running in Olympic
events and winning gold, capturing the best moment of
a local hero in a local baseball team and many other
sports events. I love seeing people putting a total
effort to achieve the unachievable, capturing the moment
in a crystal clear image on my wall.
A framed image of superhuman effort, is what I use
to motivate myself to make my own achievements in life.
When someone tells me it cannot be done, time to give
up, I say it is time to make a superhuman effort to
achieve the unachievable, just like the athletes in
sports pictures.
Sports Photos On My Walls
Some of my friends make fun of me for all of the sports
pictures on my wall. I am not the only sports fan in
my circle of friends, but I am the only one who uses
sports photos as a primary motif in my decorative
scheme.
We all wear lots of sports apparel, and we all have
different favorite teams. I have a Cubs baseball cap,
while my best friend Bill is a big fan of the 76ers.
I am the only one, however, who has a sports photo on
practically every wall, and I constantly find myself
having to explain why.
Showing Athletes At Their Best
The interesting thing about my sports pictures is that
they are not necessarily photos of my favorite athletes.
A lot of the sports pictures I have, in fact, are images
of people I do not particularly care about.
I like them as artistic photography, not as a sign
of my fandom. The great thing about sports images is
that they show people at their finest. When people are
involved in sports, they are putting everything that
they have into winning their game.
Capturing A Moment Of Glory
A sports picture can really capture the way that someone
looks in a moment of glory. The sports pictures, you
see, are there to provide me with inspiration.
Although I am relatively successful in life right now,
I have not always been. Only a few years ago, in fact,
I was kind of a bum. I was working for little more than
minimum wage in a dead-end job despite an extensive
college education. To rally myself and work towards
the position that I now occupy took everything that
I had.
My Source Of Inspiration To Move Ahead In My Career
Although I wasn’t initially inspired by sports pictures,
they do capture the spirit of inspiration that brought
me back from a life of mediocrity. I fell in love with
the feeling of straining every nerve, desperately striving
to achieve all of my goals. That is what the sports
pictures mean to me.
I suppose that looking at pictures sports is somewhat
like watching war movies in some ways. There is the
desperate and all important struggle against the enemy,
and the everyday heroism. Unlike war, however, sports
rarely kills.
Ideally, sports is done as a contest of goodwill between
two outstanding competitors. This is why I like sports
pictures more than war photographs. Sports represents
the best in human nature, while war represents the
worst.
A New Fan Wall Of Images Honoring My Favorite Sporting
Heroes
After pressure from my family, I have decided to create
a fan wall, of sports pictures I have taken of sporting
heroes with my family members. When we go to sporting
events, we like to take images with my digital camera,
with some of my heroes. Most of the images are surrounded
with sports picture frames and signed by the athletes
themselves.
Many visitors to my home, like to look at the sports
images on the wall, and ask me about the newest images.
I have thousands of images, many of them in photo albums
and I have put my best ones and the ones most requested
by family members, up on the fan wall of my home.
I am grateful for the athletes who participate in my
images, most of them know me by name, so they can trust
me and they know that I may include their images on
my fan wall. Some of them have even come to my home,
to view all my sports pictures.
